The Devil curse Some of the most memorable horror films of our time have developed some tragic myths of their own. Three, in particular, deal with stories involving Satan, including Rosemarys Baby, The Omen and The Exorcist. Just months after releasing 1968s Rosemarys Baby, director Roman Polanski suffered the loss of his wife, Sharon Tate, who was pregnant at the time, at the hands of the Manson family. A decade later, a multitude of strange events afflicted production on The Omen, including a crew members fatal car crash and a bolt of lightning that reportedly struck the plane of screenwriters David Seltzer and actor Gregory Peck. The instances have been chronicled in the 2005 TV documentary, The Curse of the Omen. As for The Exorcist, curse-mongers often cite the travails of young actress Linda Blair. After her role as the possessed child, a 15-year-old Blair dated rocker Rick Springfield, at the time in his mid-20s, and later succumbed to a myriad of drug and legal problems.
